Fall 2018 - The professor is not easy on you, but for good reason. After taking this course, I feel as though my writing and understanding of how to write has greatly improved. It feels discouraging in the beginning, as the rough draft is graded (though not inputted into the grade book) to show if you are on track with the first essay assignment. Most everyone would do poorly. Just make sure you do the (usually) bi-weekly reading logs to the best of your ability (hopefully scoring extra credit points as you do so), engage in class, and be willing to accept and ask for criticism. It was rough, no doubt. At the same time, I could not have asked for a better professor.

Spring 2020 - I love professor Linzi!! She gives so many extra credits and was really able to build a vibrant class where people are encouraged to share their own opinions and anecdotes and I was really able to know everyone in the class. She's also super understanding and forgiving while ensuring we learn as much as possible in the class. This was class split into two: Tuesday and Thursday class. This really helped! Making the class smaller was more effective. The conversations in class were all very relevant to the world today and I felt very connected digitally. We had to write 6 posts and responses on slack about the reading of the week but she gives you lots of space to just ramble about the topics you read about so it was easy to be graded high. We also have to lead a discussion once during the quarter which was super fun! You also get graded for participation which is easy. Just try to talk twice in class but just treat it like you're having a conversation with friends. And lastly, we had a final essay which was around 9-11 pages long. I had trouble choosing a topic but professor Linzi really helped me. I kinda did it last minute so it isn't as amazing as it could have been. Overall, I would LOVE to take a class with Professor Linzi again! Super interesting class to take if you want to do something in digital media in the future.

Winter 2020 - Grading Breakdown: - One-Sheets: 10% - SWOT (group): 15% - Participation: 20% - Op-Ed (individual): 20% - Business Plan (group): 35% Juliano is a great professor and person. Her lectures are engaging and she focuses on the areas of business writing that are often overlooked, which was helpful. Her syllabus/instructions are often unclear, but she’ll clarify if you ask her. The main focus of the class was the business plan, which we worked on for the entirety of the course. The first half of the quarter unfolds very slowly, then the second half rapidly snowballs with all of the assignments and projects due in the last two weeks of class. Presentations for the business plan, op-ed, and SWOT analysis are done consecutively, so there isn’t a lot of time to focus on your op-ed and SWOT analysis. I’d suggest that you do the one-sheets right away (minimum is 5, so you’d be done by week 3) and think about your op-ed ahead of time. The business plan is time-consuming and the SWOT analysis is based on another group’s business plan, so there’s nothing you can do about those beforehand. She also chooses the business plan groups on the first day, so hope that you’re with people you can stand because you’re stuck with them for 2.5 months.
